This research focuses on the preferences of French Generation Z consumers (born between 1996 and 2010) regarding wine closures, specifically between cork and screw cap closures. This demographic is known as the "technology-native" generation and are characterized by their environmental consciousness. …

In this TechForFuture project ‘Polymer Mixing in a Single Screw Extruder’ a method to optimize mixing elements is developed based on numerical simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD). A numerical procedure is developed to calculate the flow field in the extruder. By tracing particles in this …

Part of the project: TFF-Optimization of Mixing Elements. Polymer mixing with a single screw extruder is a common process in industry. Mixing quality depends on (amongst others) the screw geometry. The main objective of this study was to quantify distributive mixing behavior of a single screw extruder …

The concept of green biorefinery is based on the processing of green biomass into range of innovative products. The basic idea is to use the green biomass in the most optimal way to produce energy and marketable products. Grass silage has versatile properties as raw material for green biorefinery with …

As a means to decrease the amount of waste tires and to re-use tire rubber for new tires, devulcanization of ground passenger car tires is a promising process. Being an established process for NR and EPDM, earlier work has shown that for ground passenger car tire rubber with a relatively high amount …

The purpose of this study is to create an accurate experimental database for the passive (in vitro)freedom-of-motion characteristics of the human knee joint on a subject to subject basis, suitable for the verification and enhancement of mathematical knee-joint models. Knee-joint specimens in a six degree-of-freedom …

In biomechanical joint-motion analyses, the continuous motion to be studied is often approximated by a sequence of finite displacements, and the Finite Helical Axis(FHA) or "screw axis" for each displacement is estimated from position measurements on a number of anatomical or artificial landmarks. When …
